Access codes

If you forget any of the access codes, contact your service

provider.

Personal identification number (PIN) code — This code

protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. The

PIN code (4 to 8 digits) is usually supplied with the SIM

card. After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries,

the code is blocked, and you need the PUK code to

unblock it.

UPIN code — This code may be supplied with the USIM

card. The USIM card is an enhanced version of the SIM

card and is supported by UMTS mobile phones.

PIN2 code — This code (4 to 8 digits) is supplied with

some SIM cards, and is required to access some

functions in your device.

Lock code (also known as security code) — The lock

code (5 digits) helps you to protect your device against

unauthorised use. The preset code is 12345. You can

create and change the code, and set the device to

request the code. Keep the new code secret and in a

safe place separate from your device. If you forget the

code and your device is locked, your device will require

service and additional charges may apply. For more

information, contact a Nokia Care point or your device

dealer.

Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code and PUK2

code — These codes (8 digits) are required to change

a blocked PIN code or PIN2 code, respectively. If the

codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the

operator whose SIM card is in your device.

UPUK code — This code (8 digits) is required to change

a blocked UPIN code. If the code is not supplied with

the USIM card, contact the operator whose USIM card

is in your device.
